MugiWait, and the food is chickpea and chicken chili tomato stew? That's the kind of thing that suddenly makes me hungry!
Hop BroIn the post, they said to drain the No. 1 tap - that's basically a sign the tap is about to change over.
MugiWhat?! What's "drain it" supposed to mean? Beer-world is throwing scary words at me!
Hop BroIt means finishing off the keg and connecting the next one - in other words, everyone helps move us toward waiting for the next keg.
MugiOhhh! Even regulars and first-timers can share that live, in-the-moment feeling. That sounds fun!
Hop BroExactly. SHIKI BEER is a brewpub that makes beer on-site, so there are days when the keg situation takes center stage.
MugiBut what kind of beer is VERTE? If the style hasn't been announced, my imagination is going wild!
Hop BroAll we know right now is that it's expected to be tapped, so I'd love to go and pair it with the food myself.
MugiIt's settled! I'm going in the Ohigan week, and I want a pint too!
In SHIKI BEER's latest post, the brewery shared weekly operational updates timed to the Ohigan season, including this week's rotating food special and tap movement. The star this time is "Chickpea and Chicken Chili Tomato Stew." With the soft texture of the chickpeas, the savoriness of the chicken, and the acidity and depth of tomato at its core, it is a dish that pairs easily with beer.
What especially stands out in the post is the line "We'd like to connect VERTE soon." Since it also says, "Please drain the No. 1 tap," this can be read as an announcement looking ahead to the moment when the current No. 1 tap changes over. It is the kind of lively, on-the-spot communication that suits a brewpub whose character shifts with each day's keg situation.

- VERTE (mentioned as a beer expected to be tapped)
SHIKI BEER is a brewpub where you can enjoy beer brewed on-site, right there in the shop. Unlike a large taproom with many brands on constant rotation, its appeal lies in the close-up feeling of enjoying each changeover together, whether you are a regular or a first-time visitor. Posts like this, which present food suggestions alongside tap status, also make it easier to picture exactly what to pair with today's beer.
During the calm Ohigan season, there is the pleasure of a hearty stew and the anticipation of the next keg. It was a post that captured SHIKI BEER's signature mix of seasonal mood and real-time brewery energy.
